Chapter 854: It's Exploding Again
One Piece was loved by readers from the moment it was published, and its sales continued to rise, surpassing Dragon Ball more than a month later. waited until two months later to release a single copy, because only 2,000 copies were printed to test the waters, and it was sold out within half a day of being listed.
Xing Shaohui got the news and immediately ordered another 10,000 copies with the publisher.
After the single copy was released, the manga newspaper in Sakura Country, which had previously bought the copyright of Dragon Ball and Detective Furukawa, came back to it. As before, I want to buy the rights to the Sakura Country serial.
At first, the inexperienced other party proposed to buy out the copyright, and they almost agreed, but Tian Shao resolutely disagreed and refused. More than three years have passed, and Xing Shaohui is already experienced, and he is comfortable talking to them about copyright issues.
The book sold so well in Port City, and it certainly wasn't bad outside. So this time, Xing Shaohui proposed to divide 28 points, and the other party 2 and 8 of them.
Naturally, these foreign comic societies disagreed, and after a tug-of-war, they each took a step back, and Shaohua was divided into seventy and five, and only sold paper copyrights. Others, no need to talk.
After selling the copyright to comic strip companies in four countries one after another, Xing Shaohui was in a very good mood. If there are a few more comics of such good quality, the company's profits can be worth the listed company.
Gong Qishui saw that One Piece was selling so well, and he regretted not participating in the production of this comic. Although the martial arts competition is also very popular, it cannot be compared with One Piece in terms of sales or popularity overseas.
Xing Shaohui also sighed a little and said: "Anna hasn't published a new book for a year, and I thought it was affected by the previous events. But I didn't expect the new book that I had worked on in a year would be so popular as soon as it was published. β
Although Tian Shao told him that the new book has been being prepared, it doesn't take a year to prepare! didn't expect her to write out the previous plot, and the sketch was also set by her alone. After seeing the final draft of One Piece, he knew that this book would definitely explode, but to his surprise, it was surpassing Dragon Ball.
In fact, Xing Shaohui himself prefers Dragon Ball, of course, there are feelings and blessings here. Shaohua Comics is now a veritable leader in both the quantity and quality of comics.
Gong Qishui said with a smile: "Last year, those tabloids always said that Miss was a short-lived name, and now the sales and reviews are slapping them in the face." β
Xing Shaohui smiled. The newspapers and magazines that used to ridicule Tian Shao are now like amnesia, and they are praising it all over the time. But it's really worth boasting, it's too talented.
Gong Qishui asked, "Mr. Xing, when will Miss come over?" β
Xing Shaohui shook his head and said, "I don't know, do you have something?" If so, I can tell you that. β
After Geng Yan's incident, now he will not reveal Tian Shao's itinerary to anyone, even Gong Qishui. Gong Qishui and his two sons are credible, but his apprentices are not. Money is moving, what if you betray Tian Shao and bring danger.
The martial arts battle has come to an end, and Gong Qishui hopes that Tian Shao can give them another book to write. If you don't help write the book, your salary and bonus will be reduced by half.
Xing Shaohui was a little helpless and said, "You can't always rely on Anna, you have to think for yourself." β
"I want to write too, but no one likes what I write." Gong Qishui said. He can't change his mind, and he doesn't like to read what young people write at all.
Xing Shaohui said: "Then you can encourage Ah Zheng to think about it with your apprentice!" Don't keep them in check, let them go out on Sundays, watch more foreign movies, and maybe they will be inspired to think of good stories! β
The core of the comic is still to have a good story, if the story is not exciting, no matter how beautiful the characters are, it is useless.
Gong Qishui couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "You should be like Miss Tian, you can get inspiration by going out for a spin." I didn't hold them back, they all went to play on their own on Sundays, but it depends on luck! β
One Piece's sales in Port City are eye-catching, not to mention that it will be sold abroad.
Tang Zeyu and Bao Huamao talked about this incident when they were playing golf: "Now in Hong Kong City, comics are the monopoly of Shaohua Company. β
Bao Huamao felt that there was no way to do this: "This comic company is different from others, and it has to rely on its works to speak." Just those cartoons written by Tian Shao are enough for them to eat for ten years. β
Tang Zeyu was very itchy and said: "Comics are so popular, and when the time comes, they will definitely be very popular when they are made into cartoons." When the time comes, you will definitely be able to make a profit by selling it to various countries. β
Bao Huamao poured cold water on him and said, "Don't think about it, she won't agree." β
Like Dragon Ball, which is popular overseas, as long as the technology does not pull the crotch and shoot it into an animation, it will definitely make money. Tian Shao is not a fool, how can a business that is sure to make money and not lose money be divided.
Tang Zeyu said: "With more allies, I won't be afraid to meet a madman like Geng Yan again." β
Bao Huamao glanced at her and said: "Geng Yan's matter is that she is defenseless, and she lived in a residential area at the time, she is afraid of hurting the innocent, otherwise Geng Yan will not be able to take advantage of the door." β
He knew from Zhao Xiaorou that Tian Shao didn't want any of Shaohua's profits. Therefore, Tian Shao's real backer is not her fiancΓ©, but many elders. Even if this matter is big, someone in Hong Kong City will come forward to protect her, and Uncle Le will not dare to move. However, this will do more harm than good to Tian Shao, and it is best to solve it quietly. Otherwise, it will be impossible to hide behind your back and make a lot of money in the future.
Tang Zeyu was shocked, turned his head to look at him and asked, "Huamao, what is the background of this Mr. Tian?" Makes you rate it so highly. β
Bao Huamao couldn't tell him, so after playing a ball and going out, he said: "Brother Yu, as long as she can take us to make a fortune, does it matter what background she is?" β
Tang Zeyu understood that he didn't want to tell him.
Tired of the two sitting next to them to rest, Ah Cong came over and leaned over to Bao Huamao to say a few words, and then stepped aside.
A smile appeared on Bao Huamao's face: "Mr. Xing just called, saying that our Mr. Tian will arrive in a few days." Mr. Tian likes to eat barbecue, and when she arrives, she will hold a barbecue party in my villa. β
Tang Zeyu said: "Last time you were the east, this time it's time for me." β
Bao Huamao smiled and said that Tian Shao would not agree: "I took a fancy to a villa for her, and it is about ten minutes' drive from my villa." She won't stay in Hong Kong for a long time this time, she won't go if you're too far away, and I'll give this face if I'm close. You have to be the east, and there is a chance to come back after she graduates. β
"What do you mean, she'll stay in Port City after graduation?"
Bao Huamao said: "The comic company is here, and she is going to open a film and television company, so she will definitely stay for a long time." As for the future, then I'm not sure. β
Speaking of this, he added: "The mainland is now open to the outside world, and we have many preferential policies for investment in the past, and I am going to go to Yangcheng in a few days." Brother Yu, if you are interested, let's go over and have a look. β
Tang Zeyu is not interested in investing in the mainland, where he is poor and white, and he can't make money from his investment. He didn't refuse directly, but just euphemistically said that he had been very busy recently and didn't have time to go out.
